Default RE: Ideas for storing RC planes?

The UK ? Blimy--Stays rather damp over there. Well--If the wing is removeable-remove it,wrap it in some bubble wrap,or a soft blanket (cut up).
I use some 6 inch pieces of plastic tubing 3/4 ~1.00 inch,fitted in the center with a plastic 90 degree elbow. drill two holes (nail size) in one plastic stright piece.Nail ,or screw the bracket's to the wall wide enough to support the tail.Usually high enough to keep the plane off the floor.You can now hang the plane from the tail/nose down. Before storing-Remove glow /spark plug.Put about a spoon full of afterrun oil in the cylinder.Put the plug back in,drain tank ,or remove tank,and radio battery.Put a little oil in the tank,put it in a plastic bag,put it back in the plane loosly.Put a plastic baggy over the front of the plane to catch oil that will leak out.Close throttle,or roll up a small piece of paper towel,and stuff it in the carb opening--same with the muffler.Hang the plane on the wall.--recycle battery,and using some masking tape-mark on it which plane it goes in.stick the tape on the battery.Slide the wing under the bed.--Good luck
